i was gonna post this in the ice safety board, but i thought it would get more views in g.d. board. i brought this up a couple years ago but we've got a lot of new members. first is some kind of traction aid, (ice cleats). the most common injury to ice fishermen is head injuries from falling on the ice. also, and this scares me more than anything, and i see it all the time is when folks get set up, and finished drilling holes, they lay their auger down without putting the cover on. they set their auger right beside their bucket and sit down. take their kids, their dogs with them. ice is slippery, kids get rowdy, dogs aren't smart, and i've fallen off my bucket more times than i can count. if you're not drilling holes, cover your auger and set it far enough away you, your kids or your pets can't get cut.

i brought this up a couple years ago. the leading injury to ice fishermen is head injuries from falling. i've had my bell rang several times. #6 1/2 inch sheet metal screws in the soles of my boots solved that.

tip ups, i love 'em and hate 'em. they're a good tool to have if you're gonna be out all day, but if you're gonna move very much/far they're a waste of time. if you're gonna fish a particular area for an extended period of time, (creek channel, point, sunken island etc.) set them at different depths, and if you get a lot of flags in a certain spot , move and start jiggin there. they're used mostly for bigger fish, but i've caught crappies, gills and perch on them. i'm old school. never used the ones that hold a fishing rod. something about fighting big a fish without a flexible rod and a drag... just your arm, is fun to me. i spool mine with black tip up line, easy to see on snow and ice, pound test doesn't matter. add a barrel swivel, 2 to 4 foot mono leader for the fish you're after. beads or spinner blades above the hook won't hurt. check them often, in cold weather your holes will freeze quick, and if a flag goes up, you don't want to chop your tip up out of the ice, costing you a fish.(don't ask me how i know). hope this helps.

Wasn't a drilling company, it was a coal refinery that leaked some kinda cleaning agent
the scary thing is they don't have a clue what the harmful effect will have now, or long term. they said not to use the water for washing clothes or bathing..... sounds pretty scary to me.

you caught it legally. it's your fish. release it, eat it, fertilize your garden with it. i don't always eat bass, but when i do, they're always bigger than that.
